Try installing 7z sudo apt-get install p7zip-full and then extract the file with it 7z x 00000018.zip

+1 for this, thanks for the command some reason p7zip -d doesn't like my .zip file. after using 7z x [file], it prompted me to enter the password required and extracted the file nicely. – esefarm Jul 06 '16 at 12:29

+1 i used 7z x datafile.zip -aoa -p$3CR37 with success. Argument -p****** is the password, -aoa allows extraction over any existing local files. – roblogic Nov 04 '16 at 03:45
7z is it, what I needed to unzip my password protected .zip...! – benzkji Oct 16 '20 at 12:09
The solution is absolutely correct, but there's one addition: The files will be placed in your home folder ( /home/yourname/files ) and you might have to change the permission settings. In terminal : chown yourname ./filename(s) or just chown yourname ./ -R, since all the other files must be yours anyway. – Walter Isler Jan 14 '24 at 07:26
